Richard Dawkins’s delusion
2007-12-07 03:00:00 A thought for this Christmas, from Richard Dawkins’s arresting book The God Delusion:"Imagine, with John Lennon, a world with no religion. Imagine no suicide bombers, no 9/11, no 7/7, no Crusades, no witch-hunts, no Gunpowder Plot, no Indian partition, no Israeli/Palestinian wars, no Serb/Croat/Muslim massacres, no persecution of Jews as 'Christ-killers', no Northern Ireland 'troubles', no 'honour killings', no shiny-suited bouffant-haired televangelists fleecing gullible people of their money."Hopefully, one day, it won’t be a delusion anymore.

You can also get it in Spanish and other languages.Here's an excerpt from The Pillars of the Earth ~ by Ken Follett ~"Tom dropped the remains of his bread in the pocket of his apron, then narrowed his eyes against the sun and gazed across the field. The horse had its ears back and nostrils flared, but it seemed to Tom that its head was well up, a sign that it was not completely out of control. Sure enough, as it came closer the rider leaned back, hauling on the reins, and the huge animal seemed to slow a little. Now Tom could feel the drumming of it... More About: Ken Follett

Audio books en espanol
2007-12-01 07:20:00 I love books. I wish I had more time for reading, but I'll have to wait until my life calms down a bit before I can sit down and read for hours and hours, like I used to do.
